Before becoming an NFL head coach, Kevin O’Connell became an NFL quarterback.
He entered the league via the 3rd round of the 2008 NFL Draft. He was the backup to some upstart QB named Thomas Edward Patrick Brady. Things didn’t work out particularly well as a player (for O’Connell, not Brady). O’Connell’s career as a quarterback finished with just a couple of games where has was active. In those opportunities, he put together some modest passing by having gone 4/6 for 23 scoreless yards.
